Hernia Surgery
Safe, advanced laparoscopic hernia treatment with minimal pain, faster recovery, and expert surgical care at Jalaram Hospital, Ahmedabad.
What is a Hernia?
A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Think of it like an inner tube poking through a damaged tire. While hernias can occur anywhere in the body, they most commonly develop in the abdominal area.
Hernias don't heal on their own and require surgical repair to prevent complications. With modern laparoscopic techniques, hernia surgery has become safer, less painful, and offers faster recovery times.
Common Types of Hernias
Inguinal Hernia
Most common type occurring in the groin area, more frequent in men
Umbilical Hernia
Occurs near the belly button, common in infants and overweight adults
Incisional Hernia
Develops at the site of a previous surgical incision
Hiatal Hernia
Part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm into the chest

⚠️ Seek Immediate Medical Attention If:
